The first major widespread winter storm of the season dumped heavy snow across nearly all of south-central Nebraska.  Snowfall ranged from 6 to 14 inches.  The heaviest snow fell in a 60 to 80 mile wide band along a line from Minden, to Hastings, and then to York. Hastings reported 14 inches of snow.  Minden came in with 10 inches of snow.  York and Geneva measured 9 inches of snow.  Six inches was common at many other locations.  A mixture of freezing rain and sleet preceded the heavier snow, especially south and east of Hastings.  Most schools in the area postponed classes for at least one day.  Very cold temperatures of 5 to 15 degrees below zero settled across the area once the snow and ice ended.  A 74 year old woman driving back to Mankato, Kansas from Grand Island, Nebraska became lost in Clay county.  The woman was found in her care after it became stuck in a snowdrift near Harvard.  She was uninjured.
